""Yes. Yes I fucking do." She answered, aggravated by his lack of knowledge."
This should be he, if it's it's meant to be apart of the paragraph where it's found. Or, move it down to the next paragraph, since I'm a little on the fence about it's intended meaning.

here is another thing
"I don't remember fog coming up before." The Soldier thought.
Suddenly, he saw something move in the fog. He quickly leveled his rifle at the approaching figure, feminine from the looks of it. She was slowly approaching him, making him extremely uneasy.
from the looks of it this section is meant to happen fast, so it should read fast, there are a tad bit to many words for that effective. what would make it read quicker is hadding decidive actions. ''He leveled his rifle at the figure, grewing extreamly uneasy'' for example.

Charles, i think your opinion has been seen. Im not sure you need to continue
white needle
The soldier looked at the silhouet. Fear filled his eyes as the mist blocked his view. What could it be there in the distance. Did he just see it move? Is his mind playing tricks on him. He forcec himself to blink hoping it was nothing but an illusion. But when he opened them again the figure was still there. Just standing there as if waiting for him. The soldier started too panic. He raised his gun, taking aim. He would not show fear not now not ever! He was a proud Warden soldier. He would not waver! The wind felt cold as he was aiming for the unknown figure. He felt the shivers going down his spine. His arms were shaking, but he kept his rifle up. He had to, after all, his life depended on it

"The MGs lit us up before we were even in the town. I was pointman, as always, but even then there was no warning to the pure eruption of gunfire from the half-bombed wooden shells of the town. 7.62 and 12.7mm rounds richocheted off of the road around us, kicking up a screen of dirt and mud and blinding us from all sides. It was utter chaos. We scampered into the forest, and just as quickly as the gunfire had begun had it stopped. I found a clearing and the rest of the squad followed me in. It was an old watchtower, having been blown out by our mortar attack some hours earlier. The thicket was quiet once again, and even here birds could be heard chirping in the morning sun. We huddled around the old carcass of the tower and took stock. None of us had been killed, thank the emporer, but Twitchy took a round to the shoulder and he didnt look well. Janus quickly administered the limited first aid he had, before guiding the short American back to the nearby FOB for proper treatment. Not a word was spoken until the medic returned, and the whole forest seemed deathly quiet. I readied my rifle, loaded a magazine and snapped back the bolt. We had a long way to go today, and if this was any indicator it was going to be a tough one."

@hollow palm Not really sure why i might prefer writing stories in English. could be that I have heard Danish all my life, whereas I only began to learn and really listen to English when i was 11/12. so Danish seems much more like my common everyday language, and English is the language inwhich i've been playing games and watching most movies
random pond
Same here
modern oar
And i don't really write stories often, if ever, and wouldn't even know why i write one in Danish, it's not like you guys would understand it anyway ๐
hollow palm
I like how you managed to get the setup, the conflict, and the resolution in a single paragraph... it can be pretty tough to complete a story inside the frame of a single paragraph. Which goes hand-in-hand with my criticism: You did a lot of telling without showing. Mostly it talked about what was happening literally. 'he went here'. 'it was this' 'this thing happened'
wary swallow
well, it's far shorter than most of my introductions. A page or two on the short end....
modern oar
@prisma oar ah yeah, beware of the length of your paragraphs, you don't want to subject your readers to the "wall of text" phenomenon ๐
prisma oar
so the idea is our main squad are walking into a town
we get shot at
and thats about it
wary swallow
It's hitting the balance between long and short. Too short, I may just turn away, too long, eh.... you may lose me.
hollow palm
@modern oar That actually interests me a lot... I had once heard that the most universally understandable english is from the Pacific Northwest in America (Hollywood) because most movie actors/actresses come from Hollywood who speak with our particular dialect of english. It interests me that movies and media in english could also influence writing to such a degree, since I would imagine most people would read in their native language because its available
whereas AAA title movies may only be available in english (unless dubbed)
I.... dont think that made sense. Believe me though there was a message in there somewhere
random pond
English is good for writing because it's simple
wary swallow
@random pond that runs counter to a number of things I've heard.
little needle
I have the most trouble speaking english, writing is easy ๐

wary swallow
very true
hollow palm
I gotta disagree. I think writing takes a great deal of speech into account. It's not just being grammatically correct. Pick up any of your favorite books and you'll see the book is rife with grammatical errors. The grammar is there to emulate how the author is speaking

funny enough, though i've been watching movies from Hollywood my whole life, I've actually adopted what some have called a more British accent

*Before long, Janus was back in the clearing, and we began to make a plan. I laid out my map on a fresh tree stump, and I stared down at the barely understandable squiggles of lines and the odd red circle of enemy outposts. IN the last week we had moved up 10 miles, being the front line the entire way. But today was more important than most. The Colonials had set up a large munitions depot in a railyard the far side of the town. They were transporting everything out of it, from looted treasure to tanks, and the Death Korps wer being tasked to take the depot with as few casulites as possible. No biggie, then. I was studying the map when i felt a large man breathing over my shoulder. He put his finger on the area that just lit us up, and then at where we were hiding. The man spoke in a gruff, slavic voice. He was my CO, Noble.
"So, how far are we from that emplacement?" Noble asked, both asking a question and barking an order.
"Uh...about 400 metres southeast from us Sir. Though-" I got cut off by him taking the map from me, his one remaining eye trying to figure out the best route into the hellhole that awaited us. He found what he was looking for, and then turned to address the rest of the squad, who had turned to face the tall commissar.
"Right, men, there is a dried up river bank about 500 metres west of our position. If our recon is to be believed, then the remaining town past it has been firebombed to absolute hell. If we want to get into the town, thats our best hope. Carmain, pack up. We are leaving."
And with that, a synchroised click of gasmasks being fixed onto our faces could be heard. The masks werent nothing special, just slightly modified standard issue ones, but the Death Korps had turned the image into a one of terror. I put mine on, then my helmet, before picking up my Battle Rifle and moving West. The squad was on the move again, and we were now prepared for attack.*

Right. Writing. We took a right turn back there somewhere, which was the wrong way. English is stupid.

Just another great in Grand Warden Army. You walk a few steps and suddenly a group of angry Colonials starts to spray bullets in your general direction. It's a good thing the artillery made us those lovely holes in the ground we could use for cover, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this report right now, but I digress. When we entered the village we were welcomed with a barrage from enemy MGs and rifles, sending us into panic. We ran back into the forest, the fusillade stopping as we disappeared beyond the trees. It was then that I noticed that Carmain was the one leading us through the thick foliage. After a while we emerged into a clearing, an destroyed watchtower before us. We decided to hide behind it and reorganize. The enemy hadn't given us a chase, not willing to stretch their forces thin. Upon making sure no danger was near, we relaxed. I started checking anyone for wounds or bruises that could cripple our further progress. Thankfully only Twitchy was wounded. The bullet hit him in the arm with such force that it passed through.. Not willing to take any chances with infection or other nasty shit, I immediately applied the last hydrogen peroxide vial and bandaged the wound, hoping it's not too late. I knew that in his state Twitchy would only slow us down, he couldn't even hold a gun with that arm. I asked Noble if I could return with him to the nearest outpost, saying our Explosives Expert needs intensive care. He agreed and sent me on my way. It was during that long trek back towards our line that I've learned just how heavy that goddamn midget was. Honestly, how could such a small man weight more than a box of artillery ammo?! It's ridiculous.

@wary swallow Your dialogue is great. Believable and funny. It comes from the HFY subreddit so the point of the story, as I understand, isnt necessarily a heroic arc, but rather attempting to evoke a kind of pride in our humanity which I can see you doing. I think it stumbles in its deliverance because it lacks suspense. It starts out good, with the hyperlane, but then you put in a page break and the problem was immediately solved. The rest of the story reads a bit like an epilogue

@random pond @hollow palm thanks for the criticism. It's not meant to be long, and I ran out of steam on this pretty early on. Trying to figure out the distances, what relative technologies the aliens and humans have... I'm sinking back onto the trope of sci-fi writers have no sense of scale. It's a bit of a chance of pace from my usually serious stories, with mimial jokes and tense situations. Part 1 is the halfway introduction to the concept. Part 2 stems from a few beliefs that we'd go to great lengths to find other life, since I don't put stock into uplifted creatures.

A man opened his eyes, he did not know where he was, or how he got here. He did not even know who he was. He quickly turned around on the spot, taking in the enviourment. Around him, a city in ruins. Under him, a hard stone building. Several other men stood around him. The man opened his eyes but words refused to leave his mouth as if he was silenced by the gods. The other men looked back at him, their eyes showing fear. Suddenly, one by one, including himself jumped off the stone building. The man tried to shout in fear, but there was nothing to be heard.
The man ran through the streets, unwilling unkowning. He looked up to the sky, the sky was black. Yet... around him everything could be seen as if it was in bright daylight. HIs viewdistance was short, but that what he could see, he saw clearly. Like an aura of light surrounded him. Suddenly two lights came towards him, a vehicles it would drive him over! But his feet decided to step aside, allowing the truck to pass him. The man suddenly turned running after the truck. He did not understand, how was this possible? Was he even awake, or was it nothing more than a dream?
The truck stopped in front of him, two men got out of the car. 'STOP! STOP RUNNING', he tried to shout, as he was just inches away from the vehicle. At the last second, his feet followed his order. They stopped just before the man hit his nose against the truck. His back was getting heavier. It became heavier and heavier until he came to a moment where he thought his back would break. Finally his feet started walking again, he turned his head around and looked at the two men who got out of their truck. What were they doing with their hands? He could not say. And then he saw what those men were doing, two rifles were pointed at him. Firing bullets. One of them his the man and he tried to scream in pain, but his screams were never to be heard.
The man ran and ran, further and further away from the two others. He did not know why they shot at him, what had he done wrong? He did not get a lot of time to think about it, his hands suddenly moved to his backpack, grabbing a hammer from it. A see-through building appeared before him, it looked like a tent. The man moved next to it and started hitting it with his hammer. He did not hit the building, yet the sounds made it look like he did. He looked around him, looking for someone... anyone who could explain all of this. Was it true what he had seen? Those two men shooting at him, looking at him with fear? Looking at their own hands like they were possessed, just like he was.
The building was completed, in the blink of an eye the building had turned from a ghost into a solid tent. Was he finally going to get some rest? No, that was not the case. His feet started moving back to where he came from. Back to the truck... back to the men that had tried too shoot him. When he arrived at the street, the truck had dissappeared and so had the two men. He was relieved, he would not die here, not yet at least. He looked at his chest and while he still felt pain, no blood was too be seen. 'It has to be a dream than', the man thought. His feet however did not stop. They kept moving, out of the town, into the open fields. Before long he found a bridge. beyond the bridge, he could hear the sound of guns and explosions. He did not want to cross, but he had no choice.
His arms started to move again, to grab something out of his backpack. First a rifle, apparently he did not need it, as he threw it on the ground. Then a mortar... well, who needs explosives anyway? It seems the person behind his action had settled on an SMG. He grabbed in his backpack again, taking out almost 20 ammo. Then, he crossed the bridge. In the distance he saw a building, or... was it a tent? Yes, it was a tent but not the same as his. It was bigger, and it seemed to be partially underground. Then it started flashing lights. The lights came towards him and he felt a sharp pain as they penetrated his body. His feet changed directions and he tried to change direction. Yet it was too late. He fell on the cold stones the bridge consistent off. Slowly, his eyes closed.
A man opened his eyes, he did not know where he was, or how he got here. He did not even know who he was.

Welp..... 20 of you already found the video before i'd even had a chance to properly format it for youtube... but here it is. Weekly War Repor #8
hazy ledge
We only lost because you betrayed us!
hollow palm
This week I went super lazy and didn't bother doing any formal like drawing maps... a lot of feedback from the last video suggested that my interpretations of events didn't precisely line up with the actual events of the war, so instead of drawing any wrong conclusions I just posted the whole 11.5 hour video at super fast-forward. That way people can draw their own conclusions
hazy ledge
Lol
hollow palm
Not that I think many people will be interested in viewing a format like this. I just thought it might be interesting for those who might have missed the war, or for those rare moments in the game we've all experienced when you look at your map and go. "How the hell did X happen?!"
Well, hopefully this video will show you how
hazy ledge
You could make another version after you get soe feedback.

Naw. This one is just one big, fat, FYI for Weekly War #8

seeing all those outposts coming up at spine like that, and I am just sitting here like ''why dont you bring those damn materials for an outpost to plaza instead of spine''
hollow palm
To be fair, I think they did later on in the game.... or they built an outpost down the road toward plaza
but by that point plaza was fortified against them
little needle
yeah, somewhat south of spine
but I think that was another attempt to build an outpost at the spine
hollow palm
lol
I like how at 1500% speed, it looks like the legs arent even moving and the character is just floating above the ground... gives me the giggles

wardens never had a good strong presence at the river

well thats the first mistake
hollow palm
Yeah.. Spine is just too far back
hard hollow
but then you have the russians
that made up 50% of the warden force so i dont blame them, they couldnt stretch out everywhere
hollow palm
Spine becomes a fortress every game for a reason... its so remote from anything it makes it difficult to attack... it also makes it fairly useless in the early game
wary swallow
it was
little needle
I dont even think the russians are the cause of the spam at spine
wary swallow
@hazy ledge Story ran too quickly and lacks much substance. Also, taking from the broad sweeping events of the war doesn't mix well. Some stuff you have "the colonials invent field artillery" or "invented vehicles" is extremely jarring. We would have known about vehicles (the husks are everywhere), and evidence of artillery is commonplace (the Pits, the monstrous guns, etc.) I'd recommend rewriting, and staying on the vague end.
random pond
Warden know of all branches of technology. Such is life in superior Party Policy. Warden Above All!

Alright. I've done it. After watching that poor fool during the Q&A it made me realize how desperately this game needed a tutorial. If even half the people who show up to Foxhole were as lost as the guy who was on camera, then maybe by putting together a tutorial, we can help player retention and grow this game just a little bit more. I present to you: Foxhole Tutorial v 0.0.13
Guys, this video is unlisted because I foresee the need to take it down, edited, and reuploaded quite frequently given the speed at which the game is updating. So please share the link around, as there wont be many other ways to find it.
pine anchor
@hollow palm This tutorial is fantastic. Love the importance you gave to teamplay and communicating with your teamates
subtle robin
@pine anchor We could also make it a default setting to not have everyone muted ๐
hollow palm
Thanks. I wanted to keep it shorter by not focusing on the actual mechanical keypresses, and focus more on guiding newer players in a direction that will net them the immediate gratification of being part of the team, while helping them to avoid the common pitfalls/mistakes that a lot of older players might misconstrue as griefing, rather than attributing it to inexperience. Again - (to everyone) it'd be a great help if people could share the link wherever possible... since I don't want to make it public (or people might save the link and find it missing when I tear it down to update it) so there won't be a lot of ways to find the video aside from being told where it is

As war raged on and cities were bombed to ruins, coin minting became increasingly difficult. This eventually lead to limes being the universally accepted currency in the New American Union and most of Europe, causing a massive spike in the production of the citrus fruit. Shortly thereafter hyperinflation sat in, economically laying waste to the Western World

A man opened his eyes, he did not know where he was, or how he got here. He did not even know who he was. He quickly turned around on the spot, taking in the enviourment. Around him, a city in ruins. Under him, a hard stone building. Several other men stood around him. The man opened his eyes but words refused to leave his mouth as if he was silenced by the gods. The other men looked back at him, their eyes showing fear. Suddenly, one by one, including himself jumped off the stone building. The man tried to shout in fear, but there was nothing to be heard.
The man ran through the streets, unwilling, unkowning. He looked up to the sky, the sky was black. Yet... around him everything could be seen as if it was in bright daylight. HIs viewdistance was short, but that what he could see, he saw clearly. Like an aura of light surrounded him. Suddenly two lights came towards him, a vehicles it would drive him over! But his feet decided to step aside, allowing the truck to pass him. The man suddenly turned running after the truck. He did not understand, how was this possible? Was he even awake, or was it nothing more than a dream?
The truck stopped in front of him, two men got out of the car. 'STOP! STOP RUNNING', he tried to shout, as he was just inches away from the vehicle. At the last second, his feet followed his order. They stopped just before the man hit his nose against the truck. His back was getting heavier. It became heavier and heavier until he came to a moment where he thought his back would break. Finally his feet started walking again, he turned his head around and looked at the two men who got out of their truck. What were they doing with their hands? He could not say. And then he saw what those men were doing, two rifles were pointed at him. Firing bullets. One of them hit the man and he tried to scream in pain, but his screams were never to be heard.
The man ran and ran, further and further away from the two others. He did not know why they shot at him, what had he done wrong? He did not get a lot of time to think about it, his hands suddenly moved to his backpack, grabbing a hammer from it. A see-through building appeared before him, it looked like a tent. The man moved next to it and started hitting it with his hammer. He did not hit the building, yet the sounds made it look like he did. He looked around him, looking for someone... anyone who could explain all of this. Was it true what he had seen? Those two men shooting at him, looking at him with fear? Looking at their own hands like they were possessed, just like he was.
The building was completed, in the blink of an eye the building had turned from a ghost into a solid tent. Was he finally going to get some rest? No, that was not the case. His feet started moving back to where he came from. Back to the truck... back to the men that had tried too shoot him. When he arrived at the street, the truck had dissappeared and so had the two men. He was relieved, he would not die here, not yet at least. He looked at his chest and while he still felt pain, no blood was too be seen. 'It has to be a dream than', the man thought. His feet however did not stop. They kept moving, out of the town, into the open fields. Before long he found a bridge. beyond the bridge, he could hear the sound of guns and explosions. He did not want to cross, but he had no choice.
His arms started to move again, to grab something out of his backpack. First a rifle, apparently he did not need it, as he threw it on the ground. Then a mortar... well, who needs explosives anyway? It seems the person behind his action had settled on an SMG. He grabbed in his backpack again, taking out almost 20 ammo. Then, he crossed the bridge. In the distance he saw a building, or... was it a tent? Yes, it was a tent but not the same as his. It was bigger, and it seemed to be partially underground. Then it started flashing lights. The lights came towards him and he felt a sharp pain as they penetrated his body. His feet changed directions and he tried to change direction. Yet it was too late. He fell on the cold stones the bridge consistent off. Slowly, his eyes closed.
A man opened his eyes, he did not know where he was, or how he got here. He did not even know who he was.
